Health and Safety Directors' Responsibilities

This is a two hour course for company directors covering the HSE Guidance - Leading Health and Safety at Work. The course covers how:
  • The board needs to accept formally and publicly its collective role in providing health and safety leadership in its organisation.
  • Each member of the board needs to accept their individual role in providing health and safety leadership for their organisation.
  • The board needs to ensure that all board decisions reflect its health and safety intentions, as articulated in the health and safety policy statement.
  • The board needs to recognise its role in engaging the active participation of workers in improving health and safety.
  • The board needs to ensure that it is kept informed of, and alert to, relevant health and safety risk management issues. (HSC recommends that boards appoint one of their numbers to be the health and safety director).
